Embroidery is a beautiful form of needlepoint that has an unlimited variety of options available making it ideal for boys and girls to try. The following guide walks you through things to consider when choosing an embroidery piece for your child to try.</p>
<p><strong>Consider the Topic of the Piece</strong></p>
<p>You first need to consider what your child is in to. You want to choose a piece that will peak their interest. If your child likes dogs, choose a piece with a dog in it. If your child likes cars, choose a piece with cars in it. To ensure that your child will really like the piece, let them choose the one that they want to do themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Consider the Size of the Piece</strong></p>
<p>When choosing a piece for your child to try, be sure to choose an option that is small so that it will not take them long to do. Children are not able to sit in one place for hours and hours on end working on an embroidery piece. In order to keep their interest in the piece, it is best to choose a small one that can be completed within an hour.</p>
<p><strong>Consider the Ease of the Piece</strong></p>
<p>You want to be sure to choose an embroidery piece that is not overly difficult for your child to decipher on their own. You will have to explain things to them initially, but you want the pattern to be easy enough for them to be able to follow it on their own. This will help them to gain independence and allow them to learn to follow directions on their own.</p>
<p><strong>Frame the Piece When They Finish</strong></p>
<p>When your child finishes their piece, have a frame to display the item in. This will show them how proud of you and allow them to have a constant reminder that they can do anything that they put their mind to.</p>
<p>It will take time for your child to get the hang of embroidery. It is important to be patient with them and answer any questions that they have at the start so that they can develop their skills and learn how to do embroidery the right way. Each pattern comes with detailed directions that you and your child can read together to learn how to make each piece correctly.

Wed, 13 Jan 2016 16:05:55 +0000http://wars-online.com/2016/01/13/four-tips-for-securing-your-future-with-scrap-gold-and-silver/<p>If you are looking for a more secure way to save and invest money, the banks and stock markets are not the best choice. There are many other ways you can secure your savings and make investments. Gold and silver are a great way to secure your future. These are precious metals that you can be sure will not lose their value. This makes them a more secure investment for your future. There are some things that you will want to know before you start buying and selling gold or silver. Here are some tips to help you get started securing your future with precious metals:</p>
<p><strong>1. Buying Gold And Silver Collectables And Jewelry For Investment </strong></p>
<p>Precious metals can be found in many collectables and jewelry. Coins made from silver and gold may be worth more than their weight due to their desirability. Jewelry can also be a good investment and include precious stones, which can also be very valuable in addition to the metal. For example, jewelry with diamonds can be sold for the metal, and then the stones can be sold separately.</p>
<p><strong>2. Making Investments In Coins And Bullion For Secure Savings </strong></p>
<p>There are also coins and bullion that can bought for the purpose of investing and savings. This can be a good way to build investments. If you want to make smaller investments, coins are available in smaller weights, as low as a fraction of an ounce. If you want to make a more substantial investment, gold bars can give you the higher weights.</p>
<p><strong>3. Collecting Scrap To Sell Or Make Your Own Bullion For Savings </strong></p>
<p>In industrial applications, precious metals are used for coating electrical connections and as corrosion-resistant finishes. You can get scrap gold from many consumer electronics devices, such as computers, phones and printers. Silver can be found in the connections of many electrical installations. You can collect these metals to sell, or you can use them to create your own bullion.</p>
<p><strong>4. Finding Valuable Metals In Unlikely Places To Build Your Assets </strong></p>
<p>There are also unlikely places that you can find metals. This is not just in electronics scrap. You can also find metal like silver in old coins, such as quarters made during the first half of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Gold may not be as common, but it can also be found in some collectable items. If you want to have metal savings, collect coins with silver, which you can often get at face value. The silver in them can be worth many times this amount. So, it really pays to look at your pocket change.</p>
<p>These are some tips to help you start investing in gold and silver scrap to secure your future. If you want to sell some of your metals, contact a <a href="http://www.coinspluscincy.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">gold and silver buyer</a> to get the cash you need for your precious metals. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
How To Make A Unique Lamp From A Jarhttp://wars-online.com/2015/04/14/how-to-make-a-unique-lamp-from-a-jar/
Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:00:58 +0000http://wars-online.com/2015/04/14/how-to-make-a-unique-lamp-from-a-jar/<p>If you're looking for a fun craft you can make that also serves a functional purpose, then you should think about making a jar lamp. You can make one with just a few supplies and with a small amount of preparation. Once you make your own jar lamp, you can use it in your home or give it as a personalized gift. If you like the idea of making one, you'll want to follow the instructions below.</p>
<p><strong>Supplies you will need:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A large glass jar with a lid</li>
<li>A lamp kit that allows the cord to come out near the light bulb</li>
<li>A drill</li>
<li>Wire cutters</li>
<li>A screwdriver</li>
<li>A lightbulb</li>
<li>A drill and a large drill bit</li>
<li>A small lamp shade that slides over the bulb</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Instructions for making the lamp</strong></p>
<p>If your lamp kit isn't already assembled, you will need to assemble it. You will run the cord through the bottom piece of the socket and through the side hole; this will be easier then needing to drill a hole through the glass to run the cord through the entire jar. Use the screwdriver to tighten a screw around each cord on both sides. Then, snap the bottom piece of the socket into place.</p>
<p>Take your drill and use it to drill a hole in the center of the jar lid. Use the wire cutters to cut off any sharp pieces and to make the hole larger if necessary. You want the hole to be just large enough for the post on the lamp socket to fit through snug.</p>
<p>Fit the post through the hole and screw the washer on the bottom so it causes the socket to be held tightly in place. Screw the lid back on to the jar and make sure the light is straight. If it isn't straight then you want to remove the lid and tighten the bottom washer more while you move the socket around. Put the lid back on the jar and set the lamp where you want it.</p>
<p>Put a lightbulb into the socket and put the lampshade in place by sliding it carefully onto the bulb. Plug the lamp into the wall and turn it on.</p>
<p>Once you see your lamp turn on, you can take pride in knowing you made it yourself. You can even decorate the lamp by putting items into the jar. Some examples of things you can put in the jar include marbles, potpourri, sea shells, coffee beans and coins.

How To Choose The Right Remote Control Toy For Your Childhttp://wars-online.com/2014/12/30/how-to-choose-the-right-remote-control-toy-for-your-child/
Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:23:26 +0000http://wars-online.com/2014/12/30/how-to-choose-the-right-remote-control-toy-for-your-child/<p>Many children, including both boys and girls, enjoy playing with <a href="http://rcvehicles.about.com/od/toys/ht/RadioControlToy.htm" rel="nofollow">remote control toys</a>. They love the excitement of being able to make the toy move and go anywhere they want by just flipping a switch. There is a wide variety of remote control toys to choose from with different levels of difficulty. Before purchasing a remote control toy for your child, it is a good idea to check out the different types of remote control toys to ensure they are age appropriate for your child.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Ages 2-5</strong></p>
<p>For children that are between the ages of two to five, it is best to give them a remote controlled toy that is easy to use and safe for them to play with. Often, this age group of children may still put toys in their mouths. Therefore, it is best to choose a toy that does not have small or loose and dangling parts. These toys are usually made of a childproof, thick, rubbery plastic. It is very difficult to break these toys into small pieces.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The remote control should not have a wire, but only a short antenna that is also covered with a rubbery material. The remote should also screw closed tightly so that your little one cannot remove the batteries.&nbsp;The remote should have large, flat buttons that go forward or backward.</p>
<p><strong>Ages 6-9</strong></p>
<p>Children that are six to nine years of age can handle a more advanced type of remote control toy. This includes toys that have more power and more button options on the remote. The toy can go forward, backward, left and right. However, the antenna should be thick and sturdy enough so that it does not break off easily.</p>
<p>The remote control toy should not have loose parts that break off easily. However, these toys may be more detailed with parts, such as tail pipes or open tops, that make them look more like real vehicles. The remote may be wired or wireless, but should also have a battery compartment that screws shut tightly.</p>
<p><strong>Ages 10+</strong></p>
<p>Ten year olds are usually mature enough to know not to put small parts in their mouths. This is the age group that can play with advanced types of remote control toys.&nbsp;They may prefer a remote control airplane that has a working propeller. With careful supervision children who are ten or more years old can safely play with almost any style of remote control toy.</p>
<p>Whether you're looking for simple RC cars for the kids or looking for <a href="http://www.hobbyease.com/servos-for-sale-online-k5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">servos for sale online</a> to build your own car, you're sure to find a remote control car that will fit your needs. Once you have found the perfect remote control toy for your child, spend some time with him to teach him how to play with it safely. This provides great joy for both you and your child and also may help extend the life of his remote control toys.</p>
